Markdown is a way to style text on the web.
You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images,
and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown
is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like #
or *
.
Here’s an overview of Markdown syntax that you can use.
*This text will be italic*
_This will also be italic_
**This text will be bold**
__This will also be bold__
_You **can** combine them_
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 2a
* Item 2b
1. Item 1
1. Item 2
1. Item 3
1. Item 3a
1. Item 3b

As Kanye West said:

I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.
Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:
```javascript
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if(arg) {
$.facebox({div:'#foo'})
}
}
```
You can also simply indent your code by four spaces:
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if(arg) {
$.facebox({div:'#foo'})
}
}
Here’s an example of Python code without syntax highlighting:
def foo():
if not bar:
return True
- [x] @mentions, #refs, [links](), **formatting**, and <del>tags</del> supported
- [x] list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- [x] this is a complete item
- [ ] this is an incomplete item
If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with
hyphens -
(for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |
:
| First Header | Second Header |
|-----------------------------|------------------------------|
| Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2 |
| Content in the first column | Content in the second column |
A powerful mechanism that allows to embed platform-specific visual elements right into
the HTML document. Simply embed the expression like that: #{expression}

information there.
